I was getting a little choked up just thinking about it while reading the description of a day in the life at prison in this article and imagining Trump being subjected to it.
I hope you all join me in a coast-to-coast block party. I sure as shit will be planting a union-made flag (something I never do) in my front yard, playing some music and celebrating out front.
Which coasts? Because half the world will join in the celebration. And I'll join in from Europe.
Both of them. It's middle America that would be wailing and gnashing their teeth, but fortunately there's more cornfields and wheat there than people.
At this point I expect them to reinterpret the Electoral College as saying each corn kernel gets a vote.
Minnesotan chiming in here, I will be making cupcakes and cocktails for the occasion.
Wait. There are cupcake cocktails in this timeline?
Well, I suppose you could make a boozy milkshake with cake batter ice cream or something.
I've got mariachi bands on speed dial and gallons of popcorn just waiting.
6'3"? Lol hell nah he was shorter than Barry O. (6') and Trump's lil bitch ass was wearing lifts:
He is the shortest guy in that photo. Look at the eye level of trump and Obama. He even fluffs his comb over to get an inch.
Everybody standing there, trying not to breathe another whiff of his swamp ass, and Melania's grown immune over the years.
Biden and pence are standing one step higher
I’m exactly 6’1”, measured barefoot against a wall. I’ve been the same height forever.
I stood next to a Madame Tussauds wax replica of Trump in Amsterdam and I was easily 2 inches taller than it. I was wearing Connies. It was in lifted healed boots.
There is no way Trump is 6’3” as he claims. None. On his best day, barefoot, the dude is scraping 6 feet but I’d bet my last dollar he’s closer to 5’11”.
While I’m sure the hair was more realistic, I’m not sure Madam Tussauds is the most accurate source for trumps height.
He’s probably 6’, but only when his diaper is empty and not weighing him down.
I’m pretty sure Madame Tussauds claim to fame is its anatomically correct dimensions of its statues.
That gigantic red tie looks ridiculous.

Ima throw a block party
Right!? I just wrote the same thing. I'm dancing in the street and putting a union-made American flag up.
It's gonna be a clusterfuck. It's also gonna be a clusterfuck if he doesn't go to jail.
If it hasn't already, American democracy unequivocally fails if he doesn't go to jail.
First in spirit, as an insurrectionist is allowed to even run for president in the actual general election as a free man, for control of the country he attempted to incite inept goons to overthrew. And then systems tangibly collapses if he actually wins.
And then MAYBE it gets challenged and fails if he does go to jail and his cultists freak out for daddy and the churches all start handing out pipe bombs to their parishioners.
One's a certainty though, the other is a big maybe depending on them competently organizing and firmly crossing that line, which they'll haven't yet, in actual numbers.
Well first of all, we will need to build a large fire since hell just froze over.
Send him to that horrible Arizona outdoor prison Arpaio made, where he has to wear pink and have no comforts
But that's only for poor people!
As much debt he has and if the federal authorities actually confiscated his illicitly obtained wealth he'd be flat broke.
That's a county jail.
There will be convoys of lifted trucks full of AR-15 waving yokels. They'll get to a roadblock somewhere on the way to Washington. Most likely they'll just head back home meekly after being given a talking to. You must remember that these people are all cowards at heart. They only feel strong as part of a mob when they have some easy victims to pick on. Maybe there will be a shootout but it will be over quickly and there's no doubt about the result.
Maybe even more than the twelve or so that went south to the border
Somewhere in this equation, they'll also start to fight each other after accusing part of their group of being "Seekret Anteefah Spyes!!!!" And one or more of them will literally shoot themselves in the foot.
I suppose his skin fades back to a pasty white and we see what kind of creature his hair really is
Priaon for rich people is usually house arrest or low security resort prison. In trumps case I would wager he will get house arrest to mar-a-lago und golf out hia days with all kinds of political friends dropping by all the time kissing his ass.
You forgot to mention his friends will also be buying state secrets from the hidden room.

On behalf of Colorado I'm calling dibs. We've got a nice spot at ADX Florence set aside for him.
I’m we can’t get that, could we at least get some photos of him without the stupid orange crap on his face? It’s so ridiculous that manly men, salt of the earth, toxic masculinity people who wouldn’t be caught dead with makeup on worship this guy who wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without smearing his face in bronzer.
Be careful what you wish for.
I suppose I’m still haunted by that one photo of him, I think on some golf day, where he looked like a demented elf. It was going around for a while but I had a hard time finding it last time I looked.
Nobody REALLY knows. It's never come up before.
The last President to get charged (maybe) was for a speeding ticket, no prison time involved.

The world will be a better place.
Guantanamo sounds good.
Paywalled, but not only is there no Diet Coke, they don't even give you a KFC chicken bucket!
With this site you can always get around the paywall by opening it in a private window.
We can build a prison just for him. Or build a new prison for others and put him in an old one. Not really a huge issue.
I'm gonna drink lots of beers and stay out all night!
Ahhh a girl can dream. But not all dreams come true.
